1·3 months agoThe only parts of Vivaldi that are closed is just their ui skin on top of chrome and the tweaks they added. They still provide source for the open bits they use (chromium under the hood).
Dave is a charlatan who thinks that the fact he worked on one app decades ago somehow makes him relevant in the modern day. Not to mention that he sold shitty software that tricked people into fake anti-virus, and got hit legally for it.
Feel free to try out Rust then.
Not everyone needs to invent a language when one can contribute to an existing one.
Don’t see why this even needs to be news.
Zig is just mid anyway as a programming language, partly because its just a new masturbatory Lang for C people and partly because of Andrew’s poor, shepherding of the project.
I don’t think Andrew is notable enough to bother having a full article about the things he does.
First outrageous DDR5 RAM prices now ssd’s.
Welp. Won’t be upgrading my pc for the next few years I see
Uh no. You can get nHA toothpaste in the USA without a prescription, not sure why you’d think that. It’s just not a popular item here so it’s not sold at brick and mortar stores for the most part, though some smaller stores have it. But I have no problem ordering the stuff online.
SimpleX literally solves the messaging problem. You can bounce through their default relay nodes or run your own to use exclusively or add to the mix. It’s all very transparent to end users.
At most, aws outage would have only affected chats relayed on those aws servers.
SimpleX also doesn’t require a fukkin phone number.
Ars technica still supports rss by topic
What’s funny is that this likely irritated one of Microsofts own devs enough that they said ‘fuck all of this’ and invented the new cli app called Edit.
It’s under 200kb and runs as a standalone binary if you want. Also supports mouse input.
Did I mention it’s cross platform?
Sadly the majority of normal people don’t want control. They just want it to do some trivial task without any fuss at any cost.
We need open bootloader and drivers for phones to make any real progress on this. This is what’s holding back all initiatives.
Totally missing the point like an idiot.
But yes let’s let the USA set the rules for content in other countries by means of government regulation and pressuring visa to become the morality and wrong think police. What could go wrong???
Sui specifically is a unique horse in this race, as they are trying to really push for zero knowledge/trust models as well as what is known in cryptography spaces as multi party computation.
What this all effectively means long term is several things
- moving between one cryptocurrency on one chain to another can be done without trusting a 3rd party ‘bridge’
- you still retain control of your assets on cryptocurrency exchanges utilizing the tech instead of trusting some 3rd party like Coinbase or Charles Schwab to fulfill their end of the bargain
- with the raise of the bs porn ID laws, this tech coupled with the unique dynamic NFTs sui has could generate you a proof token that has your personal info hidden after verifying with some trusted company handing these token out and being able to use them at sites to prove you are an adult without revealing your name.
The problem with all of this of course is it is very new tech, and it’s hard to break into a space that’s littered with scammers running pyramid schemes or just pulling the rug out from under people and running with the money.
The tech is there to eliminate a lot of unnecessary middle men in the financial world, but like all shiny new things, it is still lacking mass adoption and formal govt rules around it. This greatly limits the utility of this for the common man to just sending money to friends who have an exchange to cash them out or just paying for things visa won’t let you, like Pornhub or something.
As if this fucking matters all while the ai hype literally spins up power plants just to handle the energy usage
And I suspect the core problem that has wended its way through the history of cryptocurrency is that the vast majority of people involved do not actually care what the thing they’re flocking to is. What they care about is that it has a graph, and that they get rich if the graph goes up, so they say whatever might make the graph go up. The graph even looks exactly the same for every coin and NFT and Whatever else: x-axis time, y-axis dollars. The only place the thing appears at all is in the title, where you can safely ignore it.
This is what agitates me in the crypto space. Any novel solutions for any problems get drowned out by grifters, freaky investors, or crypto coin airdrop hunters.
It makes the environment repulsive to any sane individual.
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Maybe don’t just toss around non sequiturs.
I wish people would let the EEE meme die. It’s not the 90’s anymore grandpa. Parroting the same pointless meme without applying critical thinking gets old.
55·10 months agoIf you bother to spend any time around him outside of the linked items I put, his nazi sympathizer traits become apparent.
It’s draining to me to have to explain this because like all fash, they understand that they should only use degwhistles and never blatantly say something stupid like “I’m literally a nazi”.
Nope. Take for example Gmx.
Due to the heuristics some of the providers have, such as Microsoft, they will start classifying mail sent from gmx as spam and auto move it to people’s spam folder. They have developed their own internal trust metrics and these periodically just spambin low trust servers
